Although there were positive reviews there was also negative reviews as well. The Korean songwriter G. Gorilla posted on his twitter "To the 'Countryside Diary'??? What kind of expression is this... I wish I could really hit the XX who wrote the lyrics." he quickly apologized for the tweet. Despite the controversy, the song ranked #9 on the MelOn chart and #11 on the Gaon chart.
